The Universal Space Network has offered a 50% discount on communication services (passes) for the spacecraft while in transit to the Moon and for 30 Earth Days of operations on the lunar surface. You can learn about USN’s services at http://www.sscspace.com/usn

Preferred Launch Site

Space Florida is the principal organization charged by the Florida Legislature with promoting and developing Florida's aerospace industry. Its Vision is: To be the world leader in developing tomorrow's aerospace enterprise, creating a diversified business environment and robust continued economic growth for Florida.

Space Florida's agreement to offer a Bonus Prize of $2 million to the winner of the competition if they launch from Florida, creates a powerful incentive for all Google Lunar XPRIZE competitors to strongly consider Florida as the launch site for their competition. Further, it is one of many positioning tools that will allow the State to become the future hub for commercial projects, ultimately attracting a wide variety of small and large business entrants in various locations across Florida.

Preferred Software Partner

AGI provides commercial off-the-shelf software to national security and space professionals for integrated analysis of land, sea, air, and space assets. The technology can be applied to a variety of solution areas.

AGI is providing one license of its STK package, valued at $150,000 each, to all registered Google Lunar XPRIZE teams free of charge. STK allows for complex mission planning, from launch to landing. For more information, visit AGI.com.
